Arizona Cardinals quarterback Trace McSorley will start Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Colt McCoy has already been ruled out with a concussion, so McSorley will make his first NFL start. The 2019 sixth-round pick completed 7 of 15 passes for 95 yards and 2 interceptions in relief of McCoy last week, and he has just 166 scoreless yards with 3 picks on 29 attempts for the entire season. It's a downgrade for the Cardinals' pass-catchers, but McSorley does offer some individual rushing potential, as he had 30 rushing touchdowns in three seasons as a starter at Penn State.
The Buccaneers have the No. 7 pass defense and No. 7 overall defense in numberFire's adjusted team ranks. They are allowing 17.1 FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
